Review on πŸ”§ Whiteside 1540 Router Bits, 60-degree: Enhanced SEO by Richard Miller

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Quality is a game

I've ordered many of these Whiteside 1540 bits from other sources with no problem, but I'm disappointed in the ones I've received from Hartville. 2 of the 3 bits I ordered were of far worse quality than I have ever seen. These 2 had a rough cut, burn marks on the cutting edges due to poor sharpening and they didn't reach the sharp point as intended. I don't know if they were badly reground used bits or if they came that way from the factory, but I haven't seen them that way in other sources. I returned 2 and got my money back minus the return postage as Hartwill said they were exactly as they should have been. Based on that, I won't be ordering Beats from Hartville again, but I'll probably continue to buy other things.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
